well in physical therapy i was being monitored, so i dunt recomend doing a lot of the stuff i did.
for the pain, after most every PT i got Ice and Electrical stimulation
they gave me retrictive bands and made me move my ankle in different directions. IF YOU PUT TO MUCH RESTRICTION IT WILL HURT NOT HELP
i stood on one foot and threw a ball at a trampoline for balance. I did my ankle so bad my balance was completely fucked up. also i did clocks and quick kicks. CLocks u stnad on the hurt ankle and move the other foot around ur body putting ur foot ont he ground for a slight second at each place the hour numbrs would be only go from 12 to 6. quick kicks u wunt be able to do
i did baps which u wunt be able to do.
i put a weight on my ankle and layed on my sie and lifeted my leg in the air. apparently ur hip can be a cuase of a ankle injury.
rode a stationary bike for 10 minutes to loosen up.
i can't think of anythign eles, besides the toal gym that u prolly wunt be able to do. if u have a horizontel squat machine put it on low resistance and do that.
MOST IMPORTANTLY wear a brace when ever u are doing !ANYTHING! active. Im a big sports player i have a brace u can buy prolly at ur local sports shop like Dicks, or MVP sports. IT's called an Active Ankle it has a hinge where ur ankle is alowing u to have more movement with great protection. I recomend that, but i dunt kno if it will interfere with skating. But seriously if u dunt wanna do it again get a brace and always wear it. if u dunt wear it ur very likely to do it again. whenever i wore a brace in the sumer i didn't sprain my ankle, the second the brace was off it happend. and after the first time it only gets worse. if it's bad see a doctor.
EDIT: Home work out coming soon!!!!
